Wiring up ID-12? Answered

Hello guys,

I am soon going to use the id-12 in a project but I'm a noob in this kind of stuff. I want to connect an external antenna (coil with a capacitor) Do I just wire that to pins 3 and 4? I also want to use a very 'barebones' circuit to actually make this thing work. I Posted another question and I think I can connect pins 8 and 9 to a serial-to-usb cable (not sure how to do that either). Can someone guide me onto wiring this thing? Thanks

Are you sure that it won't work with an external antenna? Because in the data sheet, The id-12 still has the antenna pins. Anyway, do you happen to know any reliable online store where I could get the ID-12 shipped to Egypt in 1 - 3 days? Also what kind of serial cable would I need?
